About Corina
Corina Valdano is a counsellor with 27 years of experience who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and difficult relationships. She works in English and Spanish and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Corina aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what is troubling them and begin to make changes.
Her work is focused on everyday problems such as coping with life changes, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and body image concerns. She also supports people dealing with issues linked to abandonment, adoption and foster care, ageing, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and codependency. Corina listens for each person’s priorities and adapts her approach to those needs.
Corina draws on approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In sessions she helps people notice patterns, try new behaviours and practise skills that reduce distress. The emphasis is on what the person wants to achieve and small steps toward those goals.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people identify strengths, set realistic goals, and build coping strategies to manage intense emotions or difficult relationships. Corina encourages practical experiments between sessions to test what helps in daily life.
People can expect a supportive, non-judgemental space where the focus is on working through current problems and building resilience for the future.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, committed steps even when feelings are difficult. It is often used for anxiety, stress and living with tough life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people try new ways of relating and feeling safer in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a non-judgemental, empathetic space so people can explore their concerns at their own pace and find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they will choose or blend methods that best fit the person’s needs and make adjustments over time.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also support continuity when circumstances change or when someone is living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements and help plan sessions that match daily routines and communication preferences.
